aq4 arquitectura, was borned in Barcelona in 2003 and it is formed by Ibon Bilbao, Jordi Campos, Caterina Figuerola, Carlos Gelpí. Our work early received recognition by winning in 2003 and 2004 the two first awards in national competitions for public facilities. Following these awards we intensified our research through public competition and we were rewarded with another two concerning to equipment and housing. In 2007 we won the competition for UDC campus residential area of Coruña, which allowed us to open a new field of research within the university housing typology and timber construction. Lately we have won the first award for “Third graders and research staff Residence of the UPV” ( Basque Country University) in Leioa Spain.
